Miller Harris at Ab Rogers

Miller Harris is a world famous brand of perfume with store all over the word. The website can be found at this address www.millerharris.com. The brand was designed by the wonderful Asuka Kawabata (www.tokyobranch.jp) This model represents a stand that will sell perfume within the cosmetic section of department stores. It was designed at Ab Rogers (www.abrogers.com) and I was asked to make this model out of card and acrylic.

Morphi's x 2

These are some promotional images from my final project Morphi's. The model was made using laser cut acrylic. It is a section of the building that shows the basement, ground and 1st floor. The visual made in Max is of the changing room and costume racks on the 1st floor.  

The site and business used in the design can be found here:

Fashion Museum x Formica (Concept Model)

I found these photos of a concept model I made to determine the shape of the shelves and desk in the Fashion Museum. The concept and presentation boards can be found here.

Centre Sphere

Centre Sphere is an exhibition and educational gallery space designed for a site within London Zoo. The form takes inspiration from animal structures, in particular the Diving Bell Spider that lives most of its life within a bubble. The building is made from glass panes connected by flexible spider joint. Wind and impact against the building will cause it to ripple. The model was made mostly with acrylic. Laser cutting and vacuum forming were some of the techniques used to construct the model. 

Model Making at Ab Rogers (Emperor Moth)

During University I had the pleasure of working at Ab Rogers (http://www.abrogers.com/). These photos are of a design for a Moscow boutique Emperor Moth, the interior is a crazy shatter of reflecting mirrors that makes you feel as if you are floating within a crystal. The pink outlines are representative of both Emperor Moth's and Ab's flamboyant style.

On this project I helped make the construction model. It was the most exciting and difficult model I have ever experienced. The model was mainly for the constructors, and worked as a blue print or reference so that constructing the abstract space went smoothly.

The model was first drawn in a free 3D program, then it was printed to scale, splayed out on a piece of paper with a code on each component, meanwhile each component was laser cut, sprayed and joined using the printout as a reference. The model sits in a supporting frame which easily shows the numbers of each panel on the back and assisted the constructors.
